Ladder 8 is vulnerable....they could close or relocate to Hudson Yards as an engine or as ladder 8 and the ladder 8 station/house occupied by engine 7...

Why is Ladder 8 so vulnerable, they just spent thousands to rehab there house.

They spent millions on the Bronx and Queens CO's and look where they are now.

How true 347, how true!

  What? They want to put an ambulance in the firehouse, but what about E261?

 

[FDNYSTATENISLAND]

I think that may have been a misunderstanding I think they mean 261 engine.

 

[68jk09]

Maybe he meant they will be participating in CFR responses also ?

Likely poorly defined writing or understanding by the reporter.

Hopefully this will happen sooner rather than later.
